Struct frame_system::limits::BlockWeights

pub struct BlockWeights {
    pub base_block: Weight,
    pub max_block: Weight,
    pub per_class: PerDispatchClass<WeightsPerClass>,
}

Block weight limits & base values configuration.

This object is responsible for defining weight limits and base weight values tracked during extrinsic execution.

Each block starts with base_block weight being consumed right away. Next up the on_initialize pallet callbacks are invoked and their cost is added before any extrinsic is executed. This cost is tracked as Mandatory dispatch class.

	max_block
		#
#	base_block	#
NOM		NOM
	_ Mandatory
__ Operational
___ Normal

The remaining capacity can be used to dispatch extrinsics. Note that each dispatch class is being tracked separately, but the sum can’t exceed max_block (except for reserved). Below you can see a picture representing full block with 3 extrinsics (two Operational and one Normal). Each class has it’s own limit max_total, but also the sum cannot exceed max_block value. – Mandatory limit (unlimited) | # | | | | # | Ext3 | - - Operational limit |# | Ext2 |- - Normal limit | # | Ext1 | # | | #| on_initialize | ##| | #| base_block |###| |NOM| |NOM|

It should be obvious now that it’s possible for one class to reach it’s limit (say Normal), while the block has still capacity to process more transactions (max_block not reached, Operational transactions can still go in). Setting max_total to None disables the per-class limit. This is generally highly recommended for Mandatory dispatch class, while it can be dangerous for Normal class and should only be done with extra care and consideration.

Often it’s desirable for some class of transactions to be added to the block despite it being full. For instance one might want to prevent high-priority Normal transactions from pushing out lower-priority Operational transactions. In such cases you might add a reserved capacity for given class. _

Ext8 - reserved

| # | Ext7 | - - Operationallimit |# |Ext6 | | |# |Ext5 |-# -Normallimit |# |Ext4 |## | | #|on_initialize |###| | #|base_block` |###| |NOM| |NOM|

In the above example, Ext4-6 fill up the block almost up to max_block. Ext7 would not fit if there wasn’t the extra reserved space for Operational transactions. Note that max_total limit applies to reserved space as well (i.e. the sum of weights of Ext7 & Ext8 mustn’t exceed it). Setting reserved to None allows the extrinsics to always get into the block up to their max_total limit. If max_total is set to None as well, all extrinsics witch dispatchables of given class will always end up in the block (recommended for Mandatory dispatch class).

As a consequence of reserved space, total consumed block weight might exceed max_block value, so this parameter should rather be thought of as “target block weight” than a hard limit.

Fields

base_block: Weight

Base weight of block execution.

max_block: Weight

Maximal total weight consumed by all kinds of extrinsics (without reserved space).

per_class: PerDispatchClass<WeightsPerClass>

Weight limits for extrinsics of given dispatch class.

Implementations

impl BlockWeights

pub fn get(&self, class: DispatchClass) -> &WeightsPerClass

Get per-class weight settings.

pub fn validate(self) -> ValidationResult

Verifies correctness of this BlockWeights object.

pub fn simple_max(block_weight: Weight) -> Self

Create new weights definition, with both Normal and Operational classes limited to given weight.

Note there is no reservation for Operational class, so this constructor is not suitable for production deployments.

pub fn with_sensible_defaults(
    expected_block_weight: Weight,
    normal_ratio: Perbill
) -> Self

Create a sensible default weights system given only expected maximal block weight and the ratio that Normal extrinsics should occupy.

Assumptions:

• Average block initialization is assumed to be 10%.
• Operational transactions have reserved allowance (1.0 - normal_ratio)

pub fn builder() -> BlockWeightsBuilder

Start constructing new BlockWeights object.

By default all kinds except of Mandatory extrinsics are disallowed.
